Burgertime-from Rare to Well Done

Hey Rich,
I love Burgertime and will follow this thread closely !
IMHO silk screening will beat inkjet printing anytime on this kind of work. The only time when I'd use (buy) inkjet is for a "one off" marquee.
Rich, small "reminder".....(we already mailed about this):
Since you are also making the metal CPO's for Space Invaders etc. would it also be possible to make the midway metal Coin door plates ?
And while we're at it: My dear Galaxian is also missing the manufacturer's plate on the back (Namco/Bally). It's very simple "B/W" and also on metal :D
I mean this one:

I honestly try to stay away from this game. It actually makes me hungry for a burger and french fries every time I play it. Not that that's a bad thing I guess, I usually make my own instead of getting fast food. But nice cabinet!!

I saw this tutorial on copper plating and etching altoid tins:
http://steampunkworkshop.com/altoid-etch.shtml
Could be used to make a cool little plate (ditch the copper plating part). I'm sure it applies to more than just altoid tins too...

Interesting, but I'm pretty sure the original was simply silk-screen printed just like the Space Invaders CPO's on the metal. Since it's tiny and only requires one color (black), it should be "a breeze" to make (for guys that can do silk-screen printing, like Rich).

I think it's anodized aluminum. My reason for this belief is that it doesn't come off with paint remover. If it were just paint it would slough right off.
